The timeline can vary pretty drastically. Are you in culinary school now? Have you worked in a restaurant before? If you have no restaurant experience I would highly recommend getting some before applying for a chef position. Most restaurants/businesses that would hire a chef fresh out of school with no experience are just looking for the lowest price to pay.

Hello Bobbie-Lin A.,
It depends on a few factors. My Brother became a head chef while still attending a Culinary Arts college. He already had experience at different positions within a restaurant and was getting exceptional grades . So if you have experience, are getting good grades you may become one while still in school. Of course the restaurants hiring requirements need to be considered as well.
